    Dumb as a fucking rock that owl

    In 1976, Atlantic City, NJ — long an iconic seaside resort and home to a legendary boardwalk — became the first location outside Nevada to legalize casinos. But by 2014, four of Atlantic City’s twelve casinos had closed, costing nearly 8,000 people their jobs. Today, in this crucial election year, the political and economic future of the remaining casinos, those still working there and the city itself hang precariously in the balance.

    Almost one year ago, a team from the “Chasing the Dream” reporting initiative in collaboration with NJTV began chronicling the struggle of that historic city through those most affected by the boom and the bust.

    He pretty much self inflicted it's closure when he built the Trump Taj Mahal right down the street from it. You do realize it was one 1 of 4 Atlantic City casinos to close that year right? Been to Atlantic City a few times, way overrated if you ask me.

    You might want to read past the headline next time. He left Atlantic City in 2009, and sold off his controlling stakes. Those casinos were paying him fees for the use of his name.

    I'll give him credit for getting out early on his failing operations.

    Owl claims to not know that many cities on the West Coast no longer prosecute certain crimes.

    He saw Atlantic City in general was in a decline, and he got out before the bottom fell out. Looks smart to me.

    and ALL of his investors who got “screwed” fought with each other over trying to put in More money in Trumps next deal.

    Trust me, this drew Big belly laughs on the trading floor as it was playing out real-time

    The only thing good in Atlantic City is the sausage with onions and peppers. Get one to go and get the hell out of that damn place.

    I did see Larry Holmes fight the chump of the week at the Trump Taj Mahal. Great fight night
